Valero Alamo Bowl: Texas Longhorns open as two-score favorites per BetMGM

Per BetMGM oddsmakers, the Texas Longhorns are opening as two score favorites for their matchup with the Colorado Buffaloes.

The Texas Longhorns and Colorado Buffaloes will close out their 2020 football season on Dec. 29 in San Antonio, Texas. The Longhorns return to the Valero Alamo Bowl after defeating Utah in last year’s game 38-10. The Buffaloes didn’t qualify for bowl season last year with a 5-7 record, their head coach Mel Tucker then left for Michigan State prior to this season. Colorado’s last bowl appearance came in 2016’s Alamo Bowl that ended in a 38-8 loss to Oklahoma State.

They will be led by quarterback Sam Ehlinger once again, in what could be his last collegiate game. The senior quarterback has yet to make a decision on his future plans.
